Hi All, i have a question.

I just realized that on my d5000, the AF assist light will not light up when the focuspoint is not at the center position. is that normal?
And when i attached my sb600 to the camera, the AF assist light on the speedlight will not light up when the focuspoint is not at the 4 positions that not on the center horizontal and vertical line. is that normal?

Do other D5000 user faced the same issue or is that normal?

thanks
*
usually the body AF assist light lights up only when its dark

but SB600 AF assist light will not light up i dunno
cos my SB900 AF assist light always lights up

what he is asking is when the focus points are at different places ie the middle..the sides etc.. the built in af assist light and the sb600 af light will only turn on at certain points..

test it yourself and you would understand.
*
i know wat he is asking, but i dunno y it happens
i oni say wat i know, that is the body AF assist lights normally is for low light condition(as stated in manual)
this may not answer his question but its jz my comment/opinion
n i nvr use SB600, so i dunno how its AF light works
but my SB900 AF light always lights up

I gotta agree wif dat bro... worst-case scenario almost happened to me tongue.gif

btw, me facing dillema on next purchase... should I aim for a prime lens 1st, or a flash unit?
wonder if the SB-600 is sufficient blink.gif
*
definitely flash 1st
wit flash u can shoot in many conditions where any lenses oso wont help
SB-600 is sufficient d, but if u got the budget go for SB-900

hi guys,

My friend just bought Phottix batt grip for his D60. Any similar user here? just wanna confirm that can the shutter on this unit be half-pressed for focussed?

Thanks ya smile.gif
*
definitely cant, cos all battery grip(3rd party only) for D40/D40X/D60 uses the external IR for shooting when using the grip
so u cant half press for focus
D5000 at 1st same situation, but new model for D5000 uses wire linked to the body, so can half press

the new one uses external wire to connect it to the side of the camera body so that it can af? got pics..?

if so..then basically it could also af with d60/d40 bodies right using the same method? (if the grip fits those models)
*
QUOTE(project-o @ Aug 30 2009, 10:08 AM)
Will fit but the D40 doesn't have the sync terminal to plug the cable in.
*
nope, the D5000 grip will not fit on D40/D40X/D60 cos there's a curve shape that fits D5000 nicely only

here's a pic of it

c the curve on the right side of the grip?

im not really concerned with the grip fitting on d40/d60..im just asking, IF lets say the grip fits d40/d60 will it autofocus?.. project-o said that there's no  sync terminal on d40/d60 to plug the cable in, is that correct?
*
i dunno D40/D60 got sync terminal or not cos i nvr check
but if got sure can, if no cant la...
but is it sync terminal?
the cable suppose to plug into the wired-remote shutter release port, is it sync terminal?

Yeah mine's using the 18-105VR and personally it offers me a good balance.

Regarding the 35mm, should I go for that or save up for the 50mm?
(got poisoned the other day) tongue.gif
*
i suggest the 50mm, kena poisoned oso tongue.gif laugh.gif
i tried the 35mm, n i say the bokeh dissapointed me, so now aiming for 50mm instead brows.gif

QUOTE(HiroBoroi @ Sep 4 2009, 05:21 PM)
Another thing ya. VR is for handheld picture taking right? Then how come some of the big Nikon/Canon guns also have VR? For example the AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4G which weight at 5 kilos, also got VR. Put this lens on D3 (1.2kg), can handheld ka? Wah sure pancit one. Can you still use VR if its on a monopod or Wimberly type thingy?  hmm.gif
*
QUOTE(alpha_company @ Sep 4 2009, 09:49 PM)
Maybe super telephotos need VR even on a monopod because of it's focal length unlike normal zooms with VR. Just a theory.

Maybe those super tele lenses need VR not for handheld but for shooting on moving vehicles like in the african safari and helicopters. I would guess that with a large stable tripod on firm ground, the VR on those lenses still needs to be turned off.
*
even if the super-tele lenses r on stable tripod, if wanna do panning shots u'll b turning the lens
so thats where the VR comes in useful? hmm.gif
